This website provides OpenSearch plugins, so that you can search the Dieli dictionary from the search bar in Mozilla Firefox. This page shows how to install them on desktop and mobile devices.
Google Chrome does not have a search bar, so this page also explains how to add Dieli dictionary searches to Chrome's address bar.
By default, Mozilla Firefox merges its address bar and search bar, so we first have to separate them. To do that, open the "hamburger" menu in the upper right corner and select "Preferences."
From the main preferences menu page, select "Search."
At the top of the search preferences page, select the option to "add search bar in toolbar." This separates the address bar from the search bar.
Return to the Dieli dictionary page and select the search plugins that you would like to install.
Optionally, you could also use a userChrome.css file to display the search plugin names as a vertical list. For that purpose, you could use the style builder by Jefferson Scher.
With the search plugins installed, you can now search from Firefox's search bar.
To change the default search engine, click in the search bar then use the keyboard combinations Ctrl+Down arrow and Ctrl+Up arrow to select your preference.
Your search goes straight to the Dieli dictionary and results are shown on the page.
To add the search plugins to Mozilla Firefox on mobile devices, first go to the Dieli dictionary page, then open the "triple dot" menu in the upper right corner and select "Page."
In the triple dot menu, select the "Page" option.
Select the option to add a search engine.
Select the search engines that you would like to add.
With the search plugins installed, you can now search from Firefox's address bar.
Your search goes straight to the Dieli dictionary and results are shown on the page.
Google Chrome searches from the address bar, so we need to edit the address bar. To do that, open the "triple dot" menu in the upper right corner and select "Settings."
Open the "hamburger" menu in the upper-left corner to reveal the full Settings menu.
From the Settings menu, select "Search engine."
From the search engine menu, go to the "manage search engines" page.
At the bottom of the page, press the "Add" button to manually enter a list of search engines.
For each search engine that you would like to add, provide its name, a search keyword and the query URL. Below is a list of search engines that you can add.
Search engine | Keyword |

I added a search engine for each language pair.
With the listed search engines, you can now search from Chrome's address bar. To begin, type a search engine's keyword into the address bar.
For example, type "scen" to translate from Sicilian to English, then press the "Tab" key.
Now that the address bar has selected a search engine, type in a word to translate, then press the "Enter" key.
Your search goes straight to the Dieli dictionary and results are shown on the page.
